Family Affair

It’s time to put everything back into perspective. So we’re more than happy to let our little flâneur take us by the hand and show us the world from her eyes. Although it’s more plodding than strutting, more traipsing than strolling, even the littlest explorers will feel like grown-ups on big-city streets.

IT DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE ZOO

Much to our surprise, we are hushed past Berlin Zoo’s Lion’s Gate entrance – today we are going to be hunting on a different kind of terrain. The little hand drags us to BIKINI BERLIN, her sights set on one trophy after the next. After all, little predators know better than anyone where the big game can be found lurking.

START THEM EARLY

We are navigated through the colonnades by our future flâneur. Anyone who has grown up in the urban jungle will have it in their blood, but the art of strolling is something that still needs to be practiced. And what better place to do this than in her natural habitat of Berlin?

MONKEY BUSINESS

Between modern architecture, our little guide feels right at home, instinctively looking up at every opportunity to take in the scale of it all. Once we reach the top, we finally pause for a moment to observe the monkeys in the zoo below. Our little wild child suddenly becomes very tame. Placing her head in our lap, she closes her tired eyes and starts dreaming.
